I had posted a few days ago that I have not yet gone to get all my required vaccinations for our trip to Thailand in 76 days. I took the plunge and called today for an appointment. I am praying for cures to all diseases between now and January 28 when I have to go and get 6 (yes that is SIX) shots and a prescription for Malaria pills. Oh and did I mention that when I return I have to get 2 more shots.
What is the big deal you may ask? So what. It's just a few shots. Ummm, yeah. See I am terrified, and I mean TERRIFIED of needles. I am the person who opted for natural childbirth because of my fear of needles. I have passed out when my kids have gotten shots of various natures. I am almost 6 years past due for my tetanus booster due to my fear of needles. I see a needle and out I go. Heck I almost passed out when I drove my neighbor to take her daughter to get her shots. I hate hate hate needles.
Anyone free Monday, January 28 at 9 am? I will need someone to pick my body up off the floor. Of course that is after they drag me in there to begin with. Do you think they give almost 33-year-old's stickers and suckers when they are finished? I sure hope so. Maybe if I am really nice and don't cry they will upgrade to a shot of tequila. Or a nice pair of gold cufflinks to give Matt for V-day.

My "friend" –– Revisited
Six weeks ago I posted about my little "friend". That disgusting wart is STILL there, even after several attempts of OTC freezing, Compound W and even duct tape. And not only is it still there but it has morphed into something larger and even more disgusting (not to mention even more painful).
So tomorrow morning I am biting the bullet and going to the doctor. I have a 10 am appointment with the podiatrist. And I am totally freaked out. From what I have read a doctor can freeze it, use acid or cut/scrape it out. At this point I am afraid the last option is all that will work. And that most likely involves needles. Needles, the little item that I pass out cold even looking at. I know it sounds crazy but I am having an anxiety attack even thinking of getting a shot. I would rather have a colon cleanse than needles. Seriously. My neighbor is going with me. She says for support and in case I can't drive home (it is on my right foot) but frankly I think she is afraid I will down a bottle of tequila and get a DUI even trying to make it there.
Matt says that the dr will probably make me come back for treatment, but to be honest if it doesn't get taken care of soon I am afraid my whole foot will fall off. That is how bad it hurts.
So think of me tomorrow. If you hear screaming don't worry. It is most likely me.
